Skills
When selecting training courses it is important to decide which level of skills to reach in order to meet the training goals. We have divided the courses into the following four groups:
Introduction
Introduction courses is the entrance level to most courses and meant for all training groups as well as an overview for managers. Introduction courses cover only basic functions of the applications and an overview of the FLSmidth Automation systems.
Introduction
User
User courses focus on the level for laboratory personnel or operator functions. This level is in most cases sufcient for operators. After the courses the participants will understand the basics of the systems enabling them to operate the systems on a daily basis. Participants should be familiar with the use of personal computers running MS Windows.
User
Specialist
Specialist courses cover in-depth knowledge and advanced functions for set-up, con-guration and maintenance of different modules of the solutions from FLSmidth Automation. Most products require that a staff group become specialists. This is carried out by taking this level of courses in order to fully benet from the system. Participants should have an engineering background and be familiar with the use of personal computers. Some courses are based on PLC programming experience.

Training Recommendations
Training takes time and is needed for full benet of the products. Often several weeks are needed to understand and fully use a system. We recommend that the required time is allocated in order to bring the trainees to a level of understanding good for safe operation and optimal maintenance. This gives the opportunity to understand which powerful tools the products can be for optimal running of a plant. Some trainees should therefore reach specialist level. In most cases we recommend that groups rst of all come for a period of dedicated training at FLSmidth Automation a couple of months before commissioning (often utilizing the actual equipment before shipment to plant). And that we meet again on site to continue training later after installation of the equipment. Based on some experience with the FLSmidth Automation system, we recommend a follow-up course for brush-up and in-depth training courses in order to close the knowledge gap between the user and the many product features for fully exploitation of the products. Eventually when a system is upgraded FLSmidth Automation offers training adapted to the system conversion in order to meet and update the knowledge requirements. Mate-rial is in this case based on the software release notes. In general we strongly recommend training at FLSmidth Automation premises, since it gives the opportunity to concentrate on dedicated training without disturbance from daily plant work.
Course Sequences
The next pages illustrate overviews of the various courses FLSmidth Automation nd relevant to offer to our customers. The courses are shown in 3 sequences in order to show the connection among the courses. The course sequences illustrate the number of courses relevant for specic products and applications. This should help planning relevant training and count the number of days for specic staff groups. FLSmidth Automation will be pleased to assist with analysis of training needs. Based on a dened qualication gap, we can offer and plan training accordingly.
A Training Example
We enclose examples showing training programmes for several staff groups in need of a sequence of courses. The example shows the order of courses in a row, while the days can be held over a longer period with interruptions in between the individual courses to make use of the gained knowledge. The large example shown is for a greeneld plant in order to show many courses relevant for this type of customer with many new products. However the training period is most often shorter and can be from a single day to 6-8 weeks, and it is in most cases 2-3 weeks. If you have other needs than described, FLSmidth Automation will be pleased to develop and implement special training activities according to your wishes. We will prepare a project plan with the optimal solution for your staff.
